Judged by the representation in this
yoar's Legislature, his appointee 10 from
the minority Of his party. But the sp.
poiatment will not satisfy that minority.
Again taking tho representation in the
Legislature for a guide, there is bat ono
man In that minority Of twelve who will
be satisfied, and that is Nj. Lucas himself.
Tho eleven proleaaod to be lighting for a
principle and to hold in wholesome ecorn
tho suggestion OF personal profit to any
one OF their number. Eleven Of them are
said to have protested against the appoint
msnt OF man from the twelve.
Whatever may be their regard for Mr.
Lucas personally, the eleven and the con-
sti!uencieu back Of them will resent tho
contamination Of what will strike them
as q bargain from the beginning, and it
will not'smooth down their rulllsd festh-
era TO be reminded that thoy were kept in
ignorance 0. tho deal. They now know
what ono Of their number is to gain by

for their share. ,#

Konna. 1t will make avictory.ior his party
much moro difficult, and il his party were
to triumph again his own election would
be go highly improbable, that it would be
waste Of time to pull wires for it. Gov
ernor Wilson's career is shattered by his
owa hand; he has set Mr.. Lucas up on q
pinnacle to be knocked down with his

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

WITH kindly sincerity we repeat:
One of the strongest grounds of our de-
sire to suppress or abate the liquor
traffic is that it would relieve many
clever men of their inherited connec-
ton with the evil Many of these, we
trust, will live to thank God for such
compulsory deliverance from it
Christian AdUOcdte.
AN Anti-Treating Society has been
organized at Macon, Ga, by Mr.. Sam
uel Jemison, who is described in the
Savannah NcWS as ''a brilliant but
cratic man. 1t gives promise of be-
coming a considerable force in South
ern Temperance agitation. The Wom-
ems Temperance Society has lent its
aid to the movement, and efforts are
being made to organize divisions of
the AntI-Treating Society in all parts
of Georgia.
DR.. HADDOCK and Gambrell, and
one or two more were murdered by the
rum power, and the country is hOrri-
fed and aroused. That is well. But
how about the remainder of the 10000
men and women sent down each year
to more horrible graves by the same
monstrous destroyer? The memory of
Haddock and GambrelI will be kept
green for many year; embalmed by
the poet and painter their names will
90 down into history; forever will the
martyrs crown rest upon the brow.
But the poor drunkard, murdered,
slowly murdered, body and soul-there
is none to think of him save with
shame. A thousand times preferable is
a death by the rumseller's bullet than
BIZ his bottle.-THe KOice.

Traffic-He Retreats Nothing.
In recent issue of the Journal of
United Labor, over his own signature,
Master Workman Powderly, in speak.
ing of the liquor traffic says:
among the letters that came to me
to-day find one that takes me to task
for my words on the Temperance
question, spoken some ten or twelve
days ago at Boston. My friend makes
the candid admission, in starting out,
that in the main am right, that even
the rum-seller will not deny the JUS
tice of my position. Having said as
much, he should have stopped. Even
then he told me nothing new. I know
that am right. l know that in re-
fusing to even touch drop of strong
drink l was and am right; in refusing
to treat another to that which don't
believe to be good for myself to drink,
l know | am right; in refusing to ass0-
ciate with men who get drunk, know.
l am right; in not allowing a rum-seller
to gain admittance into the order of the
Knights of Labor, know lam right;
in advising our assemblies not to rent
halls for meeting-rooms over drinking
places, | know [ am right. 1 have
done this from the day my voice was
first heard in the council halls of our
order. My position on the question
of Temperance is right. 1 am deter
mined to maintain and not alter it one
iot or title. If in the main | am right,
why should I alter my courseP Ten
years ago | was Missed because l ad-
vised men to let strong drink alone.
They threatened to rotten-egg me. I
have continued to advise men to be
temperate, and though | have no ex-
perience that would qualify me to rem
der an opinion on the efficacy of a
rotten-egg as an allay to the rum
drinker, yet l would prefer to have
my exterior decorated from summit to
base with the rankest kind of rotten
eggs rather than allow one drop of
liquid villainy to pass my lips, OF have
the end of my nose Illuminated by the
blossom that follows the planting of
the seed of hatred, envy, malice and
damnation, all of which are repre-
sented in solitary glass of gin"

An Excellent Example.


At the annual meeting of the New
jersey Pharmaceutical Association, re-
Gently held at Paterson, one of the
topics discussed~was the sale of intOx-
icants by druggists. 1t is an encour-
aging sign of the times that respecta-
BILE druggists feel.called upon to take
action to protect their business against
the reproach which the loose conduct
of some of their dram-selling associates
brings upon it. The association APP
pointed committee to issue an adj
dress to all pharmacists in the State,
setting forth the true position which
they should assume as to the dispeDs-
ing of intoxicants, and especially ad-
monishing members of the association
Of their obligations. Commenting
upon. this address, as already outlined
by its chairman, the Central On. j.
Times says it ''has no doubtful sound,
and it is hoped will serve its double
purpose of putting the association
right on the record and of touching the
consiences of delinquents. This ac-
ton of the New Jersey association is
timely precedent for druggists in other
States. - National Temperance AdUo-
